Community

The Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa believes that people and businesses must be active members of their community, contributing to making it viable, economically and environmentally sustainable. We believe in supporting charities on the island and in the greater world community.

Throughout the year, the Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa resort participates in a variety of programmes and campaigns that benefit people on Galiano and throughout the province of British Columbia, Canada.


Galiano Inn and Spa - Keeping Galiano Green

The resort has supported Galiano Island’s community efforts towards recycling, by purchasing and donating a glass recycling machine for the island.

We are also members of the recycling society and donate our depositable containers to raise money for environmental efforts on the Island.


Helping our Island Grow

Galiano Inn's resident Bengal Cat, Bogart, created a stir by becoming Mayor of Galiano Island (welove island life!). Generous islanders took the electoral race as an opportunity to support the island's animal shelter, RestQ Animal Sanctuary by raising over $2600 for their great work. You can view more of it through www.restqsanctuary.org

Through auction donations for fund-raising, food donations for community events, or draw prizes and other gifts, the Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa has supported many local island events on Galiano and the other Gulf Islands.

In the refurbishing of our Inn in preparation for the Fractional Ownership, all of the existing furniture was sold at a Charity Auction to raise funds for the Health Care Centre…thousands of dollars were raised.

We have supported the Galiano Health Care Centre every year through its main fundraiser, the Galiano Wine Festival. the Lions Club’s many community efforts, the Food Bank, Galiano School, and many others. If you feel your organization is doing something vital for the people of our community, and you have an idea of how we can help, please contact us at innmanager@galianoinn.com. We want to be a part of making our island community a better place to live for all of our neighbours.


We are all part of a bigger community

Recognizing we are all part of a bigger community in this world, the Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa supports various non-profit organizations that assist all Canadians and those in greater need in other parts of our shared world, just a few of these are shown here.
